Sue Brown continues the deep dive into Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, specifically the demand to turn stones into bread. This message reveals the enemy's core strategy: getting us to disobey God's will and act on our own selfish desires, thereby misusing the divine authority we possess. Sister Sue details why yielding to this temptation—prioritizing physical desires over spiritual reliance—would have disqualified Jesus as the sacrificial lamb, and how the same principle applies to us today.

The enemy's challenge is simple but powerful: Prove who you are. Learn why your true mission is not to prove yourself to Satan, but to stand firm on God's word and avoid taking selfish "shortcuts."

Key takeaways from this teaching: -- The enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy your testimony, particularly when you feel weakest and most vulnerable. -- God has already given us authority and dominion, just as He gave Jesus "all power and authority under heaven and earth." -- The enemy wants you to act out of your own will and take matters into your own hands. -- Acting independently and out of selfish desire can disqualify you from the blessings and assignments God has prepared for you. -- When you know who you are in Christ, you do not need to perform a "trick" or prove anything to the devil.
